Velvet antler is generally considered safe for most healthy adults when taken in recommended amounts. However, as with any supplement, individual reactions can vary. We recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before use.
We proudly source our velvet antler directly from our own Rocky Mountain elk herd on the Noble Elk Farm in Beloit, Wisconsin, USA. This ensures complete traceability from our pasture to your supplement. We oversee the entire process—from raising strong, healthy bulls to harvesting during peak potency—without outsourcing. Once harvested, the velvet antler is processed in-house in an FDA-regulated facility, where we produce Grade A whole antler powder, capsules, and slices.
Yes, many athletes use them for joint support and recovery, but check with your doctor or sport’s guidelines before starting. Velvet antler is naturally rich in compounds like collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin, which support joint mobility and may help with post-workout recovery.
Velvet antler is the soft, living tissue of growing antlers, harvested before they harden. It’s rich in minerals and bioactive compounds. Our supplements support joint health, mobility, recovery from activity, and even immune and mental wellness—for both people and dogs.
A high-quality elk antler will be dense, durable, and free from excessive cracks or brittleness. Good antlers will feel heavy for their size, have a smooth texture with some natural grooves, and won’t splinter easily. At The Noble Elk, we carefully select each antler to ensure it meets these standards, so you and your dog get only the best.
We raise Rocky Mountain elk on our Beloit, WI farm, selecting bulls bred for body and antler quality. Velvet antler is harvested humanely by professionals, then processed under strict hygiene standards, and formulated into supplements in controlled facilities.
Yes. When taken as directed, velvet supplements are generally safe for healthy adults and dogs. However, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider or veterinarian if you (or your pet) have underlying health conditions, are pregnant (or a pregnant pet), or are on medications.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For humans, follow the dosage instructions on the label. For pets, you can offer tablets as a topper on food or use chews as directed. Always monitor intake and consult professionals if in doubt.
Elk meat is a lean red meat, high in protein and lower in fat, cholesterol, and calories compared to conventional meats like beef or pork. It also offers valuable nutrients like iron, zinc, and phosphorus.
Tougher cuts (shoulder, neck, rump): cook low and slow—think stews, braises, or slow-cooker recipes—to soften connective tissues.
Tender cuts (tenderloin, backstrap): cook hot and fast, aiming for medium-rare to medium for juiciness and tenderness.
Frozen meat is best thawed gradually in the fridge, or under cold running water—not microwaved.
Antler chews are durable, naturally shed or harvested pieces of elk antler that make excellent long‑lasting chew toys. They help maintain good dental health by gently scraping away plaque and tartar. They're rich in minerals, low in odor, and fully ingestible over time—making them a healthier alternative to synthetic chews.
Yes, when sized correctly and supervised, they’re safe, long-lasting, and naturally support dental health without splintering.
Chew longevity depends on your dog’s size, chewing intensity, and habits. They typically outlast most synthetic chews, making them a great value for regular chewers. Expect them to last weeks to months, and replace when pieces become small enough to pose a risk.
Absolutely—our antler chews are single-ingredient, natural products with no fillers or flavorings. This makes them generally safe even for dogs with common allergies like grain or beef sensitivities. Always consult your vet if your pet has specific dietary concerns.
